Mopar 2” Lift Installed

[OnNightfall]

A few questions if you do not mind. Firstly, although advertised as 2" how much of an actually lift did you get? Closer to 3"? How does it perform on road/highway vs the stock suspension? Not off road just day to day city and highway driving? Lastly what's this RK pads I keep hearing about now?

I agree with the bump stop, it’s a pain in the butt to remove, I ended up using a small strap wrench to keep it from spinning. It’s basically a small version of a oil filter wrench with a rubber strap that will hold on to almost anything you put it on

I did get closer to 3, but it will lower some once bumpers and winch are installed. Road mannners are great, and a bit softer in my opinion. The RK are the correction pads that the front springs sit on, and are better quality than the Mopar pads that come with the kit. Hope this helps.

Is there a separate set of springs for the front and for the rear; or, are there four different springs for each corner?
Also, what wheels are those?

There are 4 individual springs per Jeep, motor,trans,options,bumpers etc determines what springs are used in each corner

Four different springs, four different part numbers. The wheels are ProComp 7069’s

@richk225 , in your profile pic, are you running 35's on those Mopar wheels without a lift?

 

[richk225]

Sorry for the delay, yes they are Mopar Gladiator wheels 17x8.5 with BFG KM3 35`s and no Lift at all. Mopar does have some decent looking rims, even bead locks

Question, if I order the Mopar 2" lift online and have a local shop install it how does the warranty work? On parts? labor? vehicle manufacturer warranty? I'm a little confused...

If you go over to the mopar site and read their warranty information for performance parts it does state the kit must be installed by a mopar certified technician. Again your mileage may vary depending on your dealer.

Ouch, so it must be installed by a dealer...

Many who installed their own are getting them covered under warranty. I honestly think with the RK pad you wont need any warranty assistance as the kit is pretty solid. If you were to have a dealer install the lift it shouldn't be that costly as the labor guide says it takes 2.5 hours to install.

Mine rides great city and hiway , very happy.

Yes, sorry I should of linked it.

Yes, sorry I should of linked it.

I'm sorry last question. Did Mopar fix it with the new 2" lifts? Is this only for the kits before a certain time?

 

[Dewey]

They made a change in the L/F pad, I don't think it fixed the problem though.

If you haven't already read the spring bow thread it has a lot of info.
